chorus
Ride on, ride to the gates of freedom
verse 1
walking along this rocky road
you ll meet friends and foes
sometimes you re on the ropes
climbin' these slippery slopes
many will lie in wait for your death
while others will your success
what ever the struggle
under never knuckle
ride on
chorus
Ride on, ride to the gates of freedom
verse 2
As i sailed the ways of death
i knew on this makeshift dugout i could gasp for breath
regrets come last ,
Trapped in the depth of the ocean Tthere was no turning back i had to swallow my emotions
Papa was retired for ever and ever waiting to draw a pension
Mama had to sell dry groundnuts to ease the stressful tension
As the man of the house
i couldn 't just sit there looking at my family living from hand to mouth
Exodus became a must ;
I had to hit the road of the deep blue sea?
Go on a cruisade to defy misery
I had to roam and hope to avoid the coast guard,
I had to roam and hope against death,
I had to roam to the gates of freedom.
chorus
Ride on, ride to the gates of freedom
Verse 3
au millieu de nulle part,on se remèmorre,on y croit très fort
partants depuis les plages de get ndar à yoff
sous l'oeil du phare de ngor
on atterrit dans ces zones à code barres, biomètries
flash et fashion on est wanted,pas de tampons ou talons ,
radars et blutooths nous talonnent
on est venus en paix sans moindre mot de passe
La porte du retour sera peut être un AF718
business class un frêt sans traces
destination horizons dakar bamako conakry
départ avec policiers pour un étranger qui veut se faire hara-kiri
Verse
We re at a point of no return
there s no turning back
for so long we ve been kept in captivity.
brother brother you just can't give up
you just can't knuckle under
just cant go under like this
the struggle continues
we ain't never gon' give up
take your sleeves again
gotta rise again
ride on, ride on
chorus
Ride on, ride to the gates of freedom
